"There are pandas in the parlour,
   There are spiders in the sink,
There are polecats in the pantry,
   And a terrifying stink;
There are wombats in the wardrobe,
   There are penguins in the bath,
There are monkeys in the shower
   And they look at me and laugh.

"There are cheetahs in the study,
    There are dodos on the stairs,
There are rhinos on the landing
    And a pair of polar bears.
 There are weasels in the laundry,
    There are ferrets in the bed,
There are tigers in the kitchen
    And they're waiting to be fed.

"There are emus in the attic,
    There are ostriches and moa,
There are pythons in the playroom...
    Are you listening to me, Noah?
This is meant to be a villa
    Not a circus or a park,
It's the last time I shall say it,
    Get a move on with that ark."
